ENTERTAINMENTS.
JACQUES OPERA HOUSE.


 P. T. Turner's "Under the Gas Light" Company renewed it's success at the Opera House last evening, giving an excellent re- presentation of Augustin Daly's spectacular drama "Under the Gas Light". The house was well filled. The scenery and stage setting were realistic and the scene on the pier and the rushing of the railroad train across the stage found as much favor with the audience as if they had never been given here before. The cast had lost none of it's good qualities and the piece is as if it were fresh from Daly's pen. It is always sure of a good house here.
 The Irish comedy, 'Dan Dacy," will be given at the Opera House tomorrow under the management of J. M. Hill, James c. Roach appearing in the title role. The Hartford Courant says: "Mr James c. Roach, who made his first appearance in this city last evening, has taken a new character and taken it well. His play of Dan Darcy is good deal on the line of Josh Withcomb's productions, but has a strong Irish flavor. It has decided merit The performance is very interesting, and has strength of plot and execution. It was heartily received ,and at the close continued applause brought MT Roach before the curtain
 The ever welcome and favorite Atkinson & Cooks stock company will commence 8 weeks engagement at, the Opera House Monday, Dec 19, at popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents. MT E. F. Sullivan, who is favorite here, is still leading man for this company A new leading lady has been secured in Miss Annie Louise Ames, who is spoken of by the press as being beautiful woman and fine actress. MT Charles T. Grilley, of this city and very popular young man, is with this company and will no doubt be greeted by his many friends in considerate manner. Seats go on sale Thursday morning.

THE TRADE OF CHRIsTMAs-TIDE.

THE TRADE OF AOGs
 We refer briefly, elsewhere, to the indica- tions given on our streets of the approach of Christmas Traders in every thorough fare take trouble, and exercise taste in dis playing goods to the best advantage; and our special advertisers are amongst the most prominent in these silent appeals to public patronage.
 MoRIARTY'S FURNITURE ESTABLISHMENT at No 20 Grand street challenges the at tention of the passers-by by the choice and ample display of the best articles of the market; and the passers-by thus invited are likely to be numbered on the list of per manent customers who find their way there without casual peram bulat1on: Mo riarty's stock this season excels any former display-Housekeeper replacing old arti- cles will find here the best goods at the lowest prices. To persons about to marry we will not give the advice of London 'sPunch" by saying "Don't"-but say, GO to Moriarty's for your first essay in house furnishings.
 THE GLOBE CLOTHING HOUSE.
 "Guessing" is Yankee characteristic, and 1T guess" is the introductory prefix of dSS0TU1Ou or OplIl1OA " O4, CIAO CAObO Company, of Bank street, promise ample opportunity for the guessing propensity or peculiarity They offer prizes for the near est guess to the amount of the largest sales on any day in the month of December. Purchasers to the amount of $2 are enti- tied to a guess. There will be the excitement in the contest for all, and the prizes for some; but there is one satisfaction for which we vouch, the best and fullest value for the money expended.
 GERAGHTY FINN,
 At 13 East Main street, Irving Block, pre- sent some of the finest articles of foot-gea1 to be found in the city. There are articles for street wear, strong and durable, quail ties not to be disregarded in the rigors of 8 winter season; and there are shoes and slippers for home use, needfu1 to the luxu- ries of the freside. Superior articles at moderate prices are presented by this firm sHoN1NGER & co,
 161 Bank street, have in stock goodly ar ray of Pianos and Organs. Though strict ly speaking, these do not come under the head of popular purchases at the Christmas season, yet there are circles in which, re ments will only be accepted. The repu tation of this house justiies the strongest recommendation at our hands. We do nO1 pretend to be experts in these matters, but the very sight of the pianos is pleasure M. F. CONNOLLY,
 of 104 Soutt Main street, offers a choice selection of fruits and preserves peculiarly suited to the season of festivity. The Cal ifornian fruits in cans are of rich flavor and the supplies from other markets, in cluding those of New York State Packing are praisefully described by house-keepers

Directors of the Meriden and Waterbury
 Road on an Inspection Tour.
 Although it had been publicly announced that the first trip of the directors of the Meriden and Waterbury road was post poned from yesterday to Friday, the di- rectors, including Messrs. Dickinson, Wade, Steele and Matthews of this city, made the tour in a passenger car yesterday, as first proposed, with the exception that many who had intended to accompany them were not of the party. It seems that the Water bury directors received no notification of postponement, and went to Meriden Monday night, so as to be on hand Tues day morning. The Meriden directors got together, and it was finally decided not to disappoint the Waterbury people, and the trip was made. The train consisted of an engine and passenger car and made the start from the Meriden and Cromwell de- pot in Meriden. It is the first passenger car over the line. The Republican" says
 "The train went direct to the Water bury Mountain, just beyond the trap notch, and made TAD id time SD as not ,to to intarfAra with the construction train The visitors were well pleased with the condition of the track and the construction all through, and the Waterbury gentlemen were espe- cially delighted with the grand outlook of ana rom the mountain near CneSn1fe, which has commanding view of a large sweep of mountainous country, varied enough to be charming The Waterbury party was enthusiastic, and expressions of regret on their part were general that they did not bring along some Waterbury news paper men, to take note of the eventful occasion. The return trip was made with out delay, and extended to Cromwell, where the quarry was visited. The run from Cromwell home to Meriden was made in IS minutes, which was good time, d. though not quite fast as the Chicago limited"

Mrs. Dr. Armand.

Mrs. Dr. Armand, the Great Western Clairvoyant, is visiting Waterbury now for the third time, and is stopping at the Cooley House on Bank street She has been requested to return to this place by many of her old patrons, who were much satisfied by her wonderful powers.
 Mrs. Armand is very young lady to possess such a wonderful gift. She is very pretty and attractive, and people who con suit her admire her very much.
 Those who visit her expect to find an elderly lady, but are impressed when they find young lady of medium height, with dark eyes and black hair and very fascin- ating manners. She came of a noble fam fly, and has practiced her business in Flu rope, South America and all over the United States. In many places she has had more than she could attend to, and has had to turn away many people.
 A party in this town had to wait two hours before they could have chance to see her. Her patrons included all classes, and she had great many business people, and all say that they go away perfectly satisfied Id
